Give Back

In our eyes, October is a special month for three key reasons: the leaves change colour, carved pumpkins fill our neighbourhoods, and most notable – the annual True Sport Give-Back Challenge attracts some diverse and uplifting community sport stories! With the submission deadline quickly approaching, we encourage you to send us your give-back story for a chance to be profiled during CBC Sports’ coverage of RBC Sports Day in Canada. We hope you enjoy this issue of True Sport in Action and it inspires you to share your give-back story!
